Kolvir Musketeers

The Kolvir Musketeers were created by King Random in 5286. Member's backgrounds may vary but they are extremely well trained. They serve many roles. They act as personal messengers. They are tasked with guarding specific places in Amber including the Throne Room, the Library, the Tombs, and other important sites. They do not act as Pattern Guards.

The Musketeers may be part of other units and have other duties. They active duty rotation varies.

The main difference between the two is that the elite primarily are part of the Amber army. The Musketeers are associated with the police forces.

Formation

• General of the Kolvir Musketeers: Baroness Doria of Amber.
• Colonel of the Kolvir Musketeers: Sir Garry Gavno.

Colonel Gavno demanded that all Kolvir Musketeers receive Rasak training and Prince Benedict and Baroness Doria both agreed and convinced the King. This made them at least on par with the Elites and as such all of the musketeers are listed as Elites as well. They can perform protective services for the royal family. In practice the KM and the Protective Elites are separate and some principals have both. There is a developing rivalry between the Elites and the Musketeers.

Authority

The KM have a variety of duties.

• The Primary duty is the protection of locations on Mount Kolvir. The Tombs. The North Stair. The East Stair. (Where Bleys and Corwin fought their famous battle). Faiella's Wood. Calicalic. The Grove of the Unicorn.
• The secondary duty is protection of the ruling family. While the royal family all have Elites assigned to them members of the ruling family need a few extra guards.
• The Kolvir Musketeers have police powers rather then military powers.

Dueling

One of the points of pride among the members is their dueling. It is considered a part of their training as well as their notoriety.

Training

Prince Giovanni insists they be skilled in war-weapons so he trains them in great sword when he is in the kingdom.

Corporal Teranton Bala G'athara

An Amberite of House (). He joined the military after a 40 year term in the family business. He spent much of his youth and his early adulthood active in the CCC. It had a frequent development into a musketeer culture. It seemed a fad when it began. But people like Prince Giovanni encouraged it. He dove deeply into it.

After his 5 year term in the military he joined the Amber police. He rose to the rank of sergent. He rejoined the military and served 20 years before being offered membership in the elites.

As an Elite he served in Diaga and Farnsdale. Both had growing Musketeer cultures that were aided by the development of useful Nail Guns.

When King Random founded the Kolvir Musketeers. He was one of the first to volunteer. Having been a Sergeant in the police forces and already an elite, he was a natural member.

He is officially a corporal in the Kolvir Musketeers.

Commentary.

At the time of the creation of the musketeers there were 20 people involved in the working out of the details. It was King Random and Prince Martin who were the main driving force. Baroness Doria was a strong advocate of a mobile force and a strong connection with the police.
